New Democratic leaders of House and Senate are big Grateful Dead fans
The two highest-ranking Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill have been revealed to be fans of the Grateful Dead.
In a New York Times article that discussed a Democratic fundraiser in Washington, D.C., on January 4th, new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's spokeswoman is quoted as saying, "'Ms. Pelosi is a huge Dead fan." The fundraiser cost $1,000 per person, and featured performances by Tony Bennett, Carole King, Wyclef Jean and the surviving members of the Grateful Dead.
Pelosi is a Democratic U.S. Representative from San Francisco, which was the home of the Grateful Dead. She is the first woman to ever hold the office of Speaker of the House.
In early December, a Las Vegas television station ran a piece about incoming Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, in which the Nevada Democrat gave a tour of his house, and showed off his "prized possession" hanging in a bathroom -- a signed poster of the Grateful Dead.

Even if you think Ann Coulter is the bitch from hell, she is not wrong abouth the way the Dead have supported their causes over the years. Give a listen to both Weir and Garcia during the Festival Express movie and you'll quickly see that they were no fans of entitlement thinking.
Further, Garcia was exactly right when he suggested tha voting for the lesser of two evils was still evil. The Dead overall had and have a legitimate rap on issue oriented politics like de-criminalization of drugs, and the environment. But overall the band has played it's life out as entrepreneurs that know fiscal conservatism and a reduced regulatory climate benefitted their business world.
...and seeing today has been a kinder, more genteel board, I'll not bite some unfortunate liberal's head off and piss down their neck. Have a nice day.

As far as Nancy Pelosi goes, her history as a mega-fundraiser has me thinking she's too close to the money, the pure political aspect of it all. Time will tell, but my call is that she succumbs to politics as usual when the favors get called in. It's a trap that's very difficult to escape from.

I'll pass.
The fact that Reid, Coulter and Pelosi all listen to the Dead (or claim to, I have no idea whether they do or not)does nothing to change the fact that I have to get up and go to work in the morning, so how relevant can it be?

Some people have invented this little Bill and Ted scenario centered around the Grateful Dead. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but you're living in fantasy land.
Enjoy the music, it is some of the best ever made.

I'll have to think about old Bill.C. for a minute?
Am I wrong in saying you either get it or you don't?

I even enjoy the MUSIC of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and a few others when they shut up and sing.
How 'bout a hug?

I can't conceive of Mrs. Pelosi "getting it".
